How Our Prices Work
Every price on this page is a range, because the final cost depends on the lock, the door or the car, and the time of day. When you call, tell us what’s happened and, if you can, send a photo of the lock or give us the car’s registration. We then give you a fixed price before we set off. If something unexpected comes up on the job, we stop and agree it with you before doing any extra work.
Prices include VAT and labour. Parts such as new locks, cylinders and mechanisms are listed separately so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
